At Meta Connect 2024, Meta announced not only the new Quest 3S VR headset, but also a new avatar system that will offer graphically more sophisticated models starting October 1.

According to Meta, there will be more customization options. These will now include details such as eye size, nose shape, body shape, and more. The movements and expressions of the avatars will also be much more lifelike than before.

To achieve this, Meta has overhauled the entire avatar system. In the future, developers will have access to a more detailed avatar skeleton, which will give them greater control over avatar movements and expressions.

In the course of next year, Meta wants to make it possible to use generative AI to generate new outfits through text input.

Meta can suck all of the farts. They represent everything wrong.

That, and literally nobody cares about their stupid ripoff Mii's. We just want to play VR games without being crushed under mountains of bullshit.

This is the correct response to every post by, about, or from Facebook 2: Platforming Boogaloo.

Seeing expressive avatars that arent rigid is going to be so uncanny. I cant wait to feel social anxiety in vr lmao

Also generating outfits with prompts is pretty fucking cool.

AI used to create custom avatars is a very nice use for AI. I am not an AI fan but this is very useful.
